[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was spanked as a child, don't spank my own children, but have a far different perspective than many here. For me growing up, it worked. I would start to get sassy, talk back, etc.., and all my mom had to do was spank me and I shaped up. When I would slide back, she'd do it again. She did not do it from a place of anger, it was matter of fact. It wasn't terrifying, I don't have these awful memories of it, I remember that it taught a healthy respect for authority and served as a reminder. Yes I cried and it was upsetting, but of course it would be! If it wasn't it wouldn't be a punishment. The only reason I don't do it with my older is because I don't think it would work like it did with me. We have very different personalities and temperaments. I have a great relationship with my mom.[/quote] This was more or less true for me as a kid, and it's true for my kids now. [/quote]
